AttendeesThe Penn Annual Conference is a tradition in continuing education since 1900. As the horizons of veterinary medicine have broadened, so has the scope of this Conference. For the more than 1,200 veterinarians and veterinary technicians who attend each year, this Conference offers a formal environment for learning, as well as opportunities for informal one-on-one discussions with experts in many fields. 

The scientific advances and new technologies that have arisen in the last several decades have opened up exciting new approaches to addressing animal and human health. Together, by sharing our knowledge and experience at conferences like this, Penn Veterinary Medicine will continue to expand the reaches of veterinary medicine well into the twenty-first century.

PAC libraryThis year’s conference will be held at the Sheraton City Center (formerly the Wyndham Philadelphia at Franklin Plaza) and is entitled "Issues in Critical Care." Join us for topics related to trauma and critical care, surgery, sepsis, ophthalmology, anesthesia and imaging, as well as tracks related to behavior, endocrinology, and equine and bovine care.We welcome back our alumni and friends, and look forward to new relationships.
